The Aviation Week Group (Washington D.C.) of the McGraw-Hill Cos.
(New York) will begin the publication of "Defense Technology
International" on Sept. 12. The new magazine title will cover a
range of defense technologies, including air-, land- and sea-based
systems "that are driving military transformation," the
company said. It will be bound into "Aviation Week" for
existing subscribers and mailed as a poly-bagged, free-standing magazine
along with "Aviation Week" to non-Aviation Week subscribers.
It will have an initial controlled circulation of 38,000 senior military
and industry professionals, 30% of whom are outside the U.S. A second
issue will be published on Nov. 21 followed by bimonthly frequency
beginning in 2006.

Defense Technology International will cover all branches of the
military, using "Aviation Week & Space Technology's"
reporting on aerospace technology and programs. "Creating a
dedicated information source focused on current and emerging defense
technologies is a natural progression from our leadership position in
aviation and aerospace," said Kenneth E. Gazzola, Aviation Week
Group exec VP-publisher. "The launching of Defense Technology
International will expand our reach beyond our existing leadership
position in aviation and aerospace," Gazzola added.
